Looking better at the code, I see now that we don't really need that
check anymore. Indeed, v8 introduced the support to change policy
specific and independent attributes at the same time. Thus:
1. the policy validity is already checked in:
sched_setattr()
sched_setattr()
__sched_setscheduler()
valid_policy()
which knows how to deal with attr.policy=4 (i.e. -EINVAL)
2. when we pass in SCHED_FLAG_KEEP_POLICY we force the current policy
by setting attr.sched_policy = SETPARAM_POLICY, so we just need a
non negative policy being defined (usually 0 by default).
Thus, I'll remove the new #define and update the check above to be just:
if (attr.sched_flags & SCHED_FLAG_KEEP_POLICY)
attr.sched_policy = SETPARAM_POLICY;
else if ((int)attr.sched_policy < 0)
return -EINVAL;
which should cover the additional case:
you can syscall with just SCHED_FLAG_KEEP_POLICY set if you want to
change only cross-policy attributes.
